Uncompromising, infectious and original, Lazy Habits are ready to take their place amongst the growing stars of the UK Urban Music Scene. 

Inspired by New Orleans jazz, soul, hip hop, Big Bands of the 50’s and soaked in British Culture their eclectic sound packs a lasting and unforgettable punch, with the band describing themselves as "Beats, Rhymes and Brass of the highest calibre”

. 

Formed in 2005 and originally the brainchild of one MC, the Hackney based outfit now stand as a full eight piece band who’s onstage energy is a colossal live experience that will keep you buzzing long after you’ve left the venue.

Having notched up shows at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, The Roundhouse, KOKO and venues up and down the UK, supporting the likes of Mos Def, Soulwax, The Specials, Bonobo, Chali 2Na (Jurrasic5) and Beardyman, Lazy Habits have won hearts and blown minds, proving they can take on any stage.

 They've smashed Glastonbury with their live performances, hosted and DJ'd on “The Other” and “Jazz World” stages, ticking off slots at Bestival, Secret Garden Party and Edinburgh Festival along the way.

2011 sees them travel even further afield including festival performances in Latvia, Croatia, Taiwan and The French Alps as well as a full UK tour.


Their debut self-released EP “On the Wagon” put the Habits on the radar of Taste Maker Huw Stephens, and blew up on the underground scene, selling out on pre-orders alone. Their follow up single “Even Out” introduced them to a wider audience and was used on commercially released cinema and TV productions both domestically and Europe wide. 

Championed by Eliza Doolittle, Paloma Faith and a host of BBC radio DJ’s, including Huw, this lot will defy you not to be on your playlist in 2011.

You’ll thank them for the memories.

Robin is the founder of Immigrant Records and Shva Muzik, imprints that have influenced the dance music community for well over a decade. Born in Glasgow and raised in Manchester, Robin spent his formative musical years basking in the haze of the Hacienda club; enjoying the infamous summer of love in '88. In 1996 traveled to the sunnier climes of California and spent a decade producing, DJing, uncovering new talent for the label and trend setting for global clothing brands.

Since the labels inception in 1998, Immigrant has signed over 75 artists from all corners of the globe and released over forty 12" EP's on vinyl. The label was partly responsible for introducing the "tech-house" sound to North and South America and continues to transport the sound globally to this day.

Robin has performed alongside pioneers such as Kevin Saunderson, Matthew Dear, Miss Kittin, Swayzak, Adam Beyer, Juan Atkins, Josh Wink, Funk D'Void, Francois K, and latter days heroes in Luciano, dOP, Vincenzo, Anja Schneider, Matt Tolfrey and Ricardo Villalobos. He has headlined at venues and events all over the world from Berlin to Buenos Aires, Tokyo to Guadalajara; clubs such as Pacha (Buenos Aires), Technique (Leeds), Avalon (Los Angeles), Weekend Club (Berlin) and held a residency at London's infamous T-Bar in 2009.

He records predominantly under his own name but also under the pseudonym's "Porterhaus" and "@Hydrafunk"

Robin partnered with global trend setter @4thsex (Jean-Marc Virard) and the @DESIGNER quartet from Los Angeles on a project they signed to Jamie Jone's Hot Creations label. Robin's remix of "Suicide Girl" gained much praise and was awarded "tune of the month" in Mixmag. The track was also featured on the cover mount CD mixed by Jamie and Seth Troxler.

Robin also remixed the Radio One tune of the week"Now That I'm Real" by Chad Valley to be released on Loose Lips Records, along with remixes for Manchester's Development Music and Spain's Flumo Recordings.
